As someone who flys to Portland on a fairly regular basis, I can answer some
of these questions. From PDX (the only airport to fly into), it is about a
45 minute drive (maybe less, depending on the time of day) to the Beaverton
Mall.
The last time I was out there Steve Barile and Frank Filz showed me the mall
space. Very cool. It is nice to have something set up for more than a
couple of days. At that time they had just gotten the space so it wasn't
set up yet. I too am looking for another reason to get to Portland so I can
see it as well.
I can't speak to the commute down from SEA-TAC but I am sure one of the
locals can.
